August Joachim Wendt
August Joachim Wendt , also Wend (born August 9, 1685 in Lübeck ; † July 14, 1748 ibid) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and archdeacon at Lübeck Cathedral .
Life
August Joachim Wendt came from a pastor's family who had worked at Lübeck Cathedral for three generations since 1647. He was a son of Christoph Wendt and his wife Anne Charitas († 1715), b. Stockmann, a daughter of the physician Paul Joachim Stockmann (1627–1688) and granddaughter of Joachim Stockmann and August Varenius . Joachim Christopher Wendt was his younger brother.
He visited the Katharineum in Lübeck and gave a Latin closing speech de utilissima honestae peregrationis jucunditate on November 25th, the commemoration day of Saint Catherine of Alexandria , 1706 . From May 1707 he studied at the University of Rostock , then also at the University of Leipzig Protestant theology .
In 1711 he returned to Lübeck and passed his theological exam on May 12th under the superintendent Georg Heinrich Götze . On November 2, 1719, after the death of his father, he was appointed deacon at the cathedral. In 1731 he was promoted to archdeacon. On the third Sunday of Advent in 1647, he celebrated the 100th anniversary of his family's office at the cathedral with a thanksgiving service and a Te Deum composed by Caspar Ruetz .
He died in the pulpit the following year as a result of a stroke and was buried in a newly acquired grave in the transept of the cathedral. He is reminiscent of a full-length pastor's picture that used to hang "over the confessional" and is now hanging in the southern ambulatory.
